Leeching was an often proscribed treatment in the 1800's. Doctors thought it would cure you of "bad blood". So, they would give you a leech and you were to let it suck your blood several times a day. Once the leech is done (after it looses its grip because it is so full) you put it back in the jar. The doctors were all wrong though the leeches were sucking the good, vital blood not, the bad blood. David Barton (Clara Barton's older brother) was proscribed leeching after he fell from the rafters of a barn and had continuous fevers and headaches.

How often did leeching work not work?
Leeching treatment was not very effective and often failed to provide any real medical benefit. The practice was based on outdated and incorrect theories of bodily humors and had no scientific basis for its supposed healing properties. In many cases, leeching resulted in harm to the patient due to blood loss or infection.

Can aluminum pots leech toxins?
According to the FDA and a study from the University of Clemson, aluminum from pots can leech into food. It depends on what and if the pot was coated with another material and the type of food. Certain acidic foods can react with the pot and cause more leeching. Scratches on the surface of the pot can also increase the leeching. Aluminum is a soft metal--that is why it can be made into foil.
